Used this bag the first weekend I had it paired with a BA Insulated AC. Temps were predicted to get down to 59 with reasonably high humidity, so I figured this was the perfect opportunity to give it a try. However, I woke up around 6AM to a tent saturated in dew and 51 degrees.

Although I was not uncomfortable during the night (I had on a light base layer and Smartwool socks), I could tell that I was nearing the limit for this bag. The area of primary concern was in the foot box area, however I just threw a light fleece over my feet and all was well again. I consider myself a mildly cold sleeper, but would probably rate this bag as a 50 degree bag.

Before making this purchase I was looking at the Therm-A-Rest Tech Blanket (~55 deg) paired with a light fleece liner to achieve the 45 degree mark. I think this bag was a much better purchase. It packs down unbelievably small (7" dia x 6") and is incredibly roomy with a draw string at the top to reduce heat loss.

One additional selling feature was the fact that I can use it as an overbag for my 30 degree bag to extend it's comfort rating by another 20 degrees while still featuring that comfortable BA integrated pad sleeve design.

I Am A Fishing Fanatic

An engineer by day, you will find me at my desk or at home dreaming about my next fishing adventure. My favorite method of pursuing the various species that inhabit my East TN waters is with a fly rod, but I can be found flinging hardware with a baitcast or spinning reel. I began flyfishing around 1995 at an age of 15, and learn something new each trip. I enjoy the time outdoors with friends and family, and I especially value the time I have with my wife and kids fishing and camping. My job can be a hectic one, and I have found that the most effective escape I have from the stress is to pick up a rod and disappear for a while. I have two wonderful kids who enjoy being outdoors with daddy whether it be hiking, hunting, fishing, or whatever journey we are on at the time. I look forward to taking both of my kids fishing and hunting, and trying to be as good of a father to them as my dad was to me. This blog is my attempt at documenting the various experiences we have, and to record them for my kids as they grown older. God Bless and Tight Lines.
